Simpler way to generate sensory hearing cells: Study
Updated : 5 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], July 5 (ANI): Researchers have now found a simpler way of generating the sensory cells of the inner ear. The team uses a direct reprogramming approach to produce sensory cells known as "hair cells," due to their hair-like protrusions that sense sound waves.
